For a government to declare a vice to be a crime, and to punish it as such, is an attempt to falsify the very nature of things. It is as absurd as it would be to declare truth to be falsehood, or falsehood truth.

I think alot of people have tried to find a "cheese pheno" in skunk seeds, but I think Sensi seeds sucks balls now so anyone looking to find a nice skunk is SOL. Even flying dutchman sucks since sensi seeds took them over. (ive bought both and was very dissapointed)

I know people keep saying " well lets get a bunch of sensi seeds skunk" or whatever, but I don't think there gonna find shit. Especially since I heard the cheese was found in '89 sensi skunk seeds...........The skunk that was bred than is alot different than now.

I'm still amazed at the fuss about Cheese - none of my friends who got the cut still grow it, and I only ran it twice. It just seems 'standard' smelly weed to me, and one of the least interesting of that 'family' of clone-only strains that have been around for decades (the blues, mystery strain, psychosis, etc.) - fast-flowering, hard pinecone buds, sativa-leaning leaves and very branchy.

In its favour, I found it less stoney than the blues, with more of an up high, but other than that, not much to write home about. However, many of those other 'strains' have similar mystery origins, and may well all have emanated from Luton, but they were around a lot longer than Cheese, which was the most recent. I was buying the blues and mystery strain in '93, and never even heard of Cheese here until around maybe '99.

As for the seedstock, it's quite likely that Sunlight Systems in Leicester were the supplier, rather than Sensi direct - SS were trying to trademark 'Skunk #1' and other names a long time ago - possibly as a front for Sensi, but possibly not.

Yo Elevator Man,, i'm feeling that,,, Cheese is nice,, but the hype-vibe son wears thin... and it really pisses the neighbors off Exodus interests us more,,, anyone got any links or info. on the new movement (Leviticus)?
They had a good thing rolling,,

Cheese is still a nice plant for breeding skunky strains with man.. even thought about doing a spin with it myself recently,, (still got the bug),, at least we know what to expect from cheese in the hybrids

Ouch,, just like this ,, (shame on dem) :

Btw ,, sunlight systems was just a fledgling of 21st Century Gardens, N. London

There you go - that's the one! I used to have a photocopied list also with their growlamp logo on the front. Memories...

And notice Skunk #3 listed down there? Is that possibly one of the early 'RKS' varieties that got dropped? What if that's the line that Cheese came from, rather than #1? Would explain why no-one seems to be able to replicate it from #1.

Bear in mind the average UK smoker doesnt have anywhere near the range of genetics you have access to.

That, and the fact that Cheese seems to keep that trademark funk, even if grown poorly and not dried/cured properly, could account for the hype.
